MELSEC L series PLC

MELSEC Q series PLC

MELSEC IQ-F series PLC ( FX5U )

MELSEC IQ-R series PLC

MELSEC QS/WS series PLC

The IQ-R and the IQ-F series are the new kids on the block.

The R Series will take over the Q series in time, but the Q series remains the main choice until they have all the functions and option cards in the R series range. The R series catalog of cards is getting stronger every day, so you should start building your PLC projects around the R series if the cards you require are there. This PLC is setting new benchmark standards for processing speed. The IQ-R uses Mitsubishi’s latest programming software GX WORKS 3.

The IQ-F series will more than likely take over the FX series in time. They have started with the FX5U PLC and this has taken things to the next level. With a host of features built into the unit including 2 x analog outputs and 1 x analog input, high-speed counters, positioning outputs, Ethernet port, and SD card slot. The FX5 uses Mitsubishi’s latest programming software GX WORKS 3.
